Investment Planning
No market predictions — get the order and structure right first.
Framework first, products second
Investment planning starts with order and structure, not predictions: which money belongs in which account, which part needs a protection floor, and which part can grow long-term. With the order right, volatility is easier to live with.
Three building blocks
- Account order: TFSA, RRSP, FHSA and non-registered accounts each have their own tax character. Use the right account first, then choose what goes inside.
- Segregated funds: fund arrangements offered by insurers, with maturity and death-benefit guarantees and beneficiary designations — suited to families who think about investing and estate transfer together.
- Time and diversification: the Rule of 72 for doubling time, and three-scenario projections (conservative, base, optimistic) to see the road before walking it.
